BNY Reports First Quarter 2026
Earnings Per Common Share of $2.24

NEW YORK, April 16, 2026 - The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation ("BNY") (NYSE: BK) today has reported financial results for the first quarter of 2026.
CEO COMMENTARY
BNY had a strong start to 2026 with record revenue of $5.4 billion in the first quarter, up 13% year-over-year, reflecting broad-based growth across our Securities Services and Market and Wealth Services businesses. We delivered over 800 basis points of positive operating leverage, while investing in new products, capabilities, AI, and - critically - our people and culture. Taken together, we reported a pre-tax margin of 37%, generated an ROTCE of 29%, and grew earnings per share
by 42% year-over-year.
The portfolio of BNY's businesses is unique, but it is how we are embracing new ways of working, our adoption and integration of new technologies and our strong culture that is enabling us to create truly differentiated solutions for our clients. As a result, our sales momentum continues. We delivered the strongest quarterly sales performance in our history, and since the beginning of the year, we announced several very strategic business wins.
Amid a dynamic operating environment, our diversified business model, combined with our strong balance sheet, allows us to serve as a pillar of strength for our clients and markets around the world, as our teams continue to execute on our long-term plan to unlock BNY's full potential for our clients and shareholders.
- Robin Vince, Chief Executive Officer

KEY DRIVERS (comparisons are 1Q26 vs. 1Q25, unless otherwise noted)
•Total revenue increased 13%, primarily reflecting:
•Fee revenue increased 11%, primarily reflecting higher client activity and net new business, higher market values and foreign exchange revenue, and a favorable impact of a weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by the mix of AUM flows.
•Investment and other revenue increased primarily reflecting investment-related gains, partially offset by net securities losses.
•Net interest income increased 18%, primarily reflecting the continued reinvestment of investment securities at higher yields and balance sheet growth, partially offset by deposit margin compression.
•Provision for credit losses was a benefit of $7 million, primarily driven by improvements in commercial real estate exposure, partially offset by changes in macroeconomic and other factors.
•Noninterest expense increased 5%, reflecting higher investments and revenue-related expenses, an unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar and employee merit increases, partially offset by efficiency savings, lower severance expense and the net impact of adjustments for the FDIC special assessment.
•Effective tax rate of 19.1%, includes a tax benefit in 1Q26 from the annual vesting of stock awards.
Assets under custody and/or administration ("AUC/A") and Assets under management ("AUM")
•AUC/A increased 12%, primarily reflecting net client inflows, higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar.
•AUM increased 6%, primarily reflecting higher market values and the favorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar, partially offset by cumulative net outflows.
Capital and liquidity
•$376 million of dividends to common shareholders (a); $983 million of common share repurchases.
•Return on common equity ("ROE") - 16.1%.
•Return on tangible common equity ("ROTCE") - 29.3% (b).

The sequential increase primarily reflects 1Q26 investment gains, higher foreign exchange revenue, a 4Q25 investment loss and higher client activity and net interest income.
•Issuer Services - The year-over-year decrease primarily reflects a 1Q25 disposal gain, partially offset by higher Corporate Trust revenue. The sequential decrease primarily reflects lower Depositary Receipts revenue.
•Noninterest expense increased year-over-year primarily reflecting higher investments and revenue-related expenses, the unfavorable impact of the weaker U.S. dollar and employee merit increases, partially offset by efficiency savings. Sequentially, noninterest expense was flat reflecting higher investments, employee merit increases and higher revenue-related expenses, offset by efficiency savings and lower severance expense.

(a) Regulatory capital and liquidity ratios for March 31, 2026 are preliminary.

(b) Tangible book value per common share - Non-GAAP excludes goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. See "Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP financial measures" beginning on page 9 for information on this Non-GAAP measure.

•CET1 capital of $21.1 billion was approximately flat compared with Dec. 31, 2025, reflecting capital generated through earnings, offset by capital returned through common stock repurchases and dividends and a net decrease in accumulated other comprehensive income. The CET1 ratio decreased compared with Dec. 31, 2025, primarily reflecting higher risk-weighted assets driven by a single-day increase in overnight loan balances on the last day of the quarter, along with higher client activity in agency securities lending and foreign exchange.

•Tier 1 capital of $26.4 billion, increased compared with Dec. 31, 2025, primarily due to the issuance of preferred stock. The Tier 1 leverage ratio decreased slightly compared with Dec. 31, 2025 reflecting higher average assets, largely offset by the increase in Tier 1 capital.

EXPLANATION OF GAAP AND NON-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES

BNY has included in this Earnings Release certain Non-GAAP financial measures on a tangible basis as a supplement to GAAP information, which exclude goodwill and intangible assets, net of deferred tax liabilities. We believe that the return on tangible common equity - Non-GAAP is additional useful information for investors because it presents a measure of those assets that can generate income, and the tangible book value per common share - Non-GAAP is additional useful information because it presents the level of tangible assets in relation to shares of common stock outstanding.

Net interest income, on a fully taxable equivalent ("FTE") basis - Non-GAAP and net interest margin (FTE) - Non-GAAP and other FTE measures include the tax equivalent adjustments on tax-exempt income which allows for the comparison of amounts arising from both taxable and tax-exempt sources and is consistent with industry practice. The adjustment to an FTE basis has no impact on net income.

See "Explanation of GAAP and Non-GAAP Financial Measures" in the Financial Supplement available at www.bny.com for additional reconciliations of Non-GAAP measures.

BNY has also included revenue measures excluding notable items, including disposal gains. Expense measures, excluding notable items, including severance expense, litigation reserves and the FDIC special assessment, are also presented. Litigation reserves represent accruals for loss contingencies that are both probable and reasonably estimable, but exclude standard business-related legal fees. Net income applicable to common shareholders of The Bank of New York Mellon Corporation, diluted earnings per share, operating leverage, return on common equity, return on tangible common equity and pre-tax operating margin, excluding the notable items mentioned above, are also provided. These measures are provided to permit investors to view the financial measures on a basis consistent with how management views the businesses.
